Dominik Rusac

Hello!

I'm years old backend developer with + years of professional experience.

About me

I am coming from a small town in central Istria called Pazin where I went to high school. I graduated at Department of Informatics in Rijeka, year 2019.

During my college I worked as a student many different jobs, mostly as a waiter in hotels and restaurants during summer break. During my last year (5th) of college I started working in IT. I worked on a small project for work orders and also I used that project as my final graduate thesis. And since, I've been working with Laravel framework.

After graduation, I found a full time job at Lloyds Digital as a backend developer and that's where I currently sit till date.
I speak and write english very well. I have experience working with both local and international clients. I attended meetings as a part of the team as well as held one on one meetings with the clients.

I'm mostly experienced as a Laravel backend developer but I also do a lot of work on Amazon Web Services (AWS), deploying Laravel and Javascript applications into production environment. Working in terminal is something I'm very familiar with.

Also, I am on my way to becoming a full stack developer. During my free time in the last two years, I enrolled and successfully finished multiple courses like HTML/CSS and Vanilla Javascript. Recently I started learning Vue.js framework.

I also published some blogs on dev.to, check them out!
